It may occur alone, for example, after a walk of cold wind, or be a complication from another illness – flu, Orville, pharyngitis. The first signs of bronchitis are scratch in the throat and hoarse voice, and then these symptoms to be added and dry cough, which increases at night. After 3-4 days it becomes wet. Sometimes when bronchitis is increased temperature, but which is rarely very high. If the disease occurs severely, may appear shortness of breath and pain in the ribs. The median duration of disease was about two weeks when the patency of bronchial cough and recover passes. If bronchitis is not treated, it can become chronic. Chronic bronchitis is a serious disease that often exacerbates, the lungs gradually sclerosing posed pulmonary failure, and shortness of breath at the slightest load, pathological changes in heart (sclerosing lungs can not saturate the blood with oxygen). Among the complications of acute bronchitis are serious diseases such as pneumonia and emphysema of the lungs. In the first stage of disease when coughing is accompanied by wet phlegm, medicines can intensify inflammation of the mucous membrane. During this stage should be taken warm milk, hot tea, warm mineral water. The great quantity of fluids helps to thin the phlegm and removal of toxins from the body.

For more than six percent of the population snow, snowman skating and not launch a winter wonderland, and the gloomy mood that can only get better with the arrival of spring. Seasonal emotional disorder (SEDs) is a form of clinical depression with atypical symptoms – increased feelings of fatigue, increased appetite, irritability, feelings of hopelessness, lethargy and lack of interest in doing everyday activities. Symptoms are exacerbated in December and continue until late spring, summer fade and come back again in winter. Seasonal depression is different from typical depression that depends on the calendar. Also – unlike the standard form – patients with SEDs tend to be sleeping and suicide, not troubled. This condition affects mostly young people and women of childbearing age, though it is not clear why. SEDs with women than men by a ratio 4:1 SEDs. The SEDs rarely occurs in women at menopause, which allows the specialists to believe that hormonal changes play a role in pathophysiology. Although physicians have an understanding of the characteristics of SEDs, yet little is known how and why these features occur. Biology is still unknown,” said Dr. Douglas Jacobs, a professor of clinical psychiatry at Harvard. He says the leading theory on the problem, whereby the reduction of sunlight in winter, probably affect the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin.

Office workers may feel almost insured against industrial accidents, but are threatened by a number of other health problems. Sedentary lifestyle and lack of movement leading to obesity. And for keeping your body in good shape are needed daily about 2-3 hours walk. Obesity, even harmful, in this case can not be called the greatest evil. Much more dangerous are the diseases that arise as a consequence of overweight. Some of them run at least at first unnoticed.
Thrombosis
Thromboembolic events is expressed in blood clots that form in the vessels of the legs in a lack of physical exercise (deep vein thrombosis). They can be formed even in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Data from recent surveys, the number of office employees suffering from these diseases increases with each passing year. Sedentary lifestyle increases about twice the risk of varicose.
Headache
Permanent lighting and stoop are adequate for the occurrence of migraine. The situation is aggravated by the constant ringing of phones. In a similar problem will help massage the temples in the area. Migraine can be treated with different preparations are available in pharmacies. It should be treated -. Several studies suggest that a prerequisite for stroke.

Some people seem to have an inborn dislike of certain vegetables and have no desire to consume, regardless of the form in which they were prepared. According to U.S. scientists from the private research institute Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia this was due to “internal voting body, which we seek to dictate what, how and in what form to consume. The study’s authors – Mary Sandy and Paul Breslin argue that those who literally hate vegetables, instinctively protect themselves from iodine deficiency and caused by that disruption of the thyroid gland. Many vegetables, especially broccoli, horseradish root and contain relatively large amounts of glucosinolates, which prevent the formation of organic iodine compounds in the body and their access to the thyroid gland. Without compounds iodine thyroid can not function normally. Therefore, in parts of the world where there is a shortage of food from non-vegetable origin, ie lack of iodine, many people suffer from increased thyroid. In a strong iodine deficiency slows mental development of children that with increasing age can not be compensated.
The bitter taste is a warning
Scientists have discovered a receptor on the tongue taste bitter substances which determines, in some cases respond to glucosinolates. In part of the study participants were found two genes responsible for this receptor. They are perceived vegetables containing glucosinolates, uniquely as bitter. Other actors who have a gene, responsible for the particular perception of taste, these vegetables are defined as less bitter. Others who did not have a similar gene, they have never felt bitterness.

According to statistics, today about 80% of all women at least once suffered from various infections are transmitted sexually. Moreover, the consequences of these infections may be much more serious than their signs, which as a rule are mostly discomfort and pain. The infections are sexually transmitted, falling and developing in the vagina, causing disturbances in its normal microflora. The genital infections with both developed and conditionally-pathogenic bacteria that cause of inflammatory diseases of the female genitals – salpingitis, salpingooforit, adnexyt, and cervicitis. Some inflammatory changes (especially inflammation of the cervix) can be converted into precancerous conditions, such as erosion. If these changes are not treated, they can switch in cancer. Some viruses are also considered onco-genes- such as papilloma virus. Some types of this virus (type 16 and type 18) are associated with increased risk of cancer of the cervix.

Experts argue that the lives of men are 3 main critical period – age 35 years 50 to 55 years and 65-70 years. These conventionally called peak years are associated with certain loads. – The load may be hormonal – Have you note that it is 35 (plus or minus 1 year) and at the age of 50 many men establish new families?
- The load may be social – should be made home to raise a child.
- The load may be psychological – approaching the half-century anniversary man and reviewed his life in balance. Often this condition is accompanied by stress and depression.
According to statistics, most men die as a result of cardiovascular disease – stroke, heart attack or illness caused by alcohol abuse. An additional factor is food high in fat, leading to blood clots and increase cholesterol – it is superimposed on the walls of the vessels and they lose their elasticity. Evidence suggests that about half of men after the age of 40 have difficulty with erections. Lately, more often than to consult a specialist and find the real cause of the problem, they resort to self medication and vote for who think will help them. This approach is totally wrong because the doctor would have sought the root cause of the problem and have tried to treat it, not its aftermath. Many men do not know that Viagra and other similar drugs it should only be prescribed by a doctor and that it is contraindicated in:
- Heart disease (coronary heart disease, heart rhythm disorders, hypertension, hypotension);
- Adoption of nitroglycerin and other preparations of this type for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases;
- Adoption of erythromycin and cimetidine – they enhance the action of the respective drug to overcome erectile dysfunction.

The international team of scientists who carried out the study hope that detailed knowledge of the genome of the fungus Malassezia globosa (Pityrosporum ovale) will lead to more effective treatments that would block its reproduction. Fungus lives and feeds on human skin, itching and flaking causing which are associated with dandruff. It is estimated that about half of the population suffers from dandruff, as men are more susceptible to developing this condition. Chapter on the human hand, the average quantity of this type of fungus is about 10 million. Fungus itself is fed by the sebum, which is produced by sebaceous glands in the skin. Sebum serves to protect the body from external influences, and particularly with regard to skin and hair, it protects them from this to become too dry, brittle and fragile. It turns out that Malassezia globosa is one of the simplest organisms that have ever tracked genetically and its only 4285 gene is 300 times smaller than the human genome. It will own ability to produce fatty acids which are vital for life and therefore relies on human sebum to exist.
The role of enzymes
Recent studies indicate that the fungus causes dandruff by producing enzymes called lipase. First it uses lipase degradation of sebum, thereby creating oleic acid. It penetrates the upper layer of skin and causes faster separation of skin cells in susceptible, which is manifested in dandruff. Researchers found that the fungus produces a total of 8 species Lipases along with three phospholipase, which used to absorb fats from the skin.
